Paperback. Condición: Very Good. In recent years there has been an enormous growth of interest in old lorries. Since the first London to Brighton run for historic commercial vehicles took place in May 1962 more and more people have become involved in their restoration and preservation. Both enthusiastic individuals and commercial operators have rescued decaying specimens from scrapyards of farmyards and carefully restored them to their original condition. This book traces the story of the motor lorry, from the emergence of the petrol-drive lorry at the end of the nineteenth century through the development of road transport in the First World War. About the author John Woodham's interest in old lorries developed from an earlier interest in railways and old buses. He runs 1937 and 1949 Bedford coaches and has written several other books on transport including the Shire Album Funicular Railways.

paperback. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.

Paperback. Condición: New. A number of narrow gauge railways can be found today in Saxony, eastern Germany, with commercial daily steam-hauled trains. These were once part of a much more extensive network of lines in the region, built to a gauge of 750 mm, which once totalled over 500 kilometres (311 miles) all operated originally by the Royal Saxon State Railway company, and later the federal government railway. After the Second World War some railway assets were claimed by the Soviet Union as reparations, and the area became part of the German Democratic Republic. Many of the lines that served small towns and villages in rural areas were by then in poor condition and closed in the 1960s. However, those that were still running when the Berlin Wall collapsed in 1989 are still working today, though now privatised, and have been joined by several other enthusiast-run museum railways reviving sections of lines closed earlier.With a fascinating selection of rare and previously unpublished images, John Woodhams offers a wonderful insight into these unusual and quirky reminders of the days of the steam.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The historic cathedral city of Canterbury has traces of its Roman past. The oldest church in England, St Martins, can trace its history back to this era but it is the cathedral founded under Anglo-Saxon rule which still dominates the city close by other surviving Saxon buildings, the Burgate and St Augustines Abbey. Canterbury became an international pilgrimage destination in the Middle Ages after the assassination of Thomas Becket and although the population plummeted after the Black Death, the city wall with its gates was rebuilt. Huguenot weavers helped to revive the citys fortunes and the town grew again in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, although some of the towns old buildings such as the castle and the towers in the walls fell into disrepair. Although the Baedeker Blitz in the Second World War destroyed many buildings, Canterbury has retained its historic core but todays city is also graced by noteworthy examples of modern architecture, not least at the University of Kent and the recently redeveloped Marlowe Theatre.Canterbury in 50 Buildings explores the history of this fascinating city in Kent through a selection of its most interesting buildings and structures, showing the changes that have taken place in Canterbury over the years. The book will appeal to all those who live in Canterbury or who have an interest in the city. Explore the rich history of the city of Canterbury in this guided tour through its most fascinating historic and modern buildings.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The South Maitland and Richmond Vale Railways together formed an extensive network of standard gauge lines serving collieries in the New South Wales coalfields. The first section opened for coal traffic in 1893, with passenger services being introduced on part of the growing SMR system from 1902. Such was the volume of traffic that sections of route were double-tracked and signalled. The New South Wales Government Railways took over passenger services from 1930 until 1961, following which the SMR continued with diesel railcars until 1972. The RVR also operated passenger trains for miners until 1959. The railways used a fleet of British-built steam locomotives, ranging from six coupled saddle tanks to several originally built for use in the Mersey Tunnel, and thirteen R O D tender locomotives constructed for use in France during the First World War. However, the last working locomotives were a fleet of Beyer Peacock 2-8-2 tank locomotives, which in later years often worked 1500-ton trains double-headed. Steam operation ended on the South Maitland system in 1983, leaving the Richmond Vale operation as the last commercial steam working in Australia until that too ceased in 1987. A section of the Richmond Vale Railway has become a museum line, and fortunately many locomotives have survived from these remarkable operations. Rare and previously unpublished images illustrate the story of the last commercial steam working in Australia, which was active until 1987.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The first cranes mounted on railway wheels were hand-operated, but by the mid-nineteenth century several builders had fitted steam engines and boilers to enhance lifting capabilities, though initially these machines were not self-propelled, but merely portable. By the 1860s self-propelled cranes were offered and gradually designs were developed for more specialised uses, such as dealing with accidents or for quarrying.A crane locomotive is a conventional steam locomotive, built or subsequently fitted with a crane jib. The first example was a locomotive converted by the London & North Western Railway in 1866. Other railways followed with their own conversions, and three main line companies even built a small number new. These were all mainly employed for shunting and loading in workshop areas. Private firms also designed and built specialist crane locomotives for use in heavy industry, such as shipyards and steelworks, where they proved to be extremely versatile, with the last examples working into the early 1970s. While over 200 were built in the UK, for both domestic service and export, these fascinating machines have been largely overlooked by the railway historian and enthusiast. Previously unpublished photographs help to illustrate the story of these fascinating railway oddities.
